The school season is coming around again, so we all know what that means right?
SCHOOL SUPPLY SHOPPING!
I don't know about you but I absolutely love shopping for school supplies, I don't know why as I don't enjoy school, well not secondary school anyway, however I have now graduated from secondary school and I'm going in to College. I'm only taking one class and that is Performing Arts, therefore there's not really that much I need to buy as it's a mostly practical based class but there is still theory work and I still love school supplies nonetheless so I went out and bought some whether I need it or not. Of course my supplies won't be everything you need, it depends on how many classes you take, what school year your in and what your school requires you to bring so please do keep that in mind when reading this.With that being said lets get onto my supplies. All of the supplies shown are bought from Tesco's with my own money.

The first thing I bought from Tesco was these Pilot FriXon Set, this set has 3 different types of pens in it. The black has a fine cone tip (ball point), the blue has an extra fine needle point tip and the yellow is a highlighter. Not only are these pens great for writing but they're also erasable (there is a rubber on the bottom of them) and that is why I love them so much! I have had the Pilot FriXon Ball set before which is the black one but in three different colours, one black, one blue and one red and I was always buying them because they became my favourite pens but then I saw that they now do 3 different types in one so I just had to get it. They actually also have re-useable ones of these now too where you can replace the ink when it runs out, hopefully I can get hold of some soon to show you.

Moving onto the next set of pens that I got, which are also in the Pilot FriXon range, Pilot FriXon Light these ones are. These are all highlighters, no different types of pens like the above set just purely highlighters. I bought these because again I used to use the Pilot FriXon Ball set and I saw that Pilot had brought out highlighters so I just had to get them. If you can't tell Pilot are one of my favourite brands of pens! :D
The next thing I bought was more pens! A girl can never have too many pens right? ;) These pens are the Smooth Felt Tip pens from Paper Mate, another favourite brand of mine. I have never used these before so I don't know what there like but I'm excited to find out.

I then decided I had bought enough pens now so I moved onto pencils. These pencils are the pencils that I have always used, I haven't found any better ones than these before. They are the Staedtler pencils, this set has 2B, B, HB, H and 2H pencils in it. Usually I would just buy a set of 2B pencils but this time I went for a variety.

The last thing I bought were these two notebooks. I originally went to the notebook section to get a small pukka pad notebook as I own the bigger ones from previous years in school but since I am only taking one class now I wanted a smaller one. However, on my way to get the pukka pad I saw this cute little notebook with loads of cartoon drawings on it and I just had to get it. I am actually going to be using that notebook for YouTube but I put it into this haul because I think it would make a cute little school notebook.

That is all the school supplies that I bought for College this year, I hope you all have a great school year whether it be in Primary, Secondary, College or University.

Today I looked out my window after waking up at 11:00pm (oops!) and I saw that it was raining, and pretty hard too. On these sorts of days I don't bother as much with how I look, however I do still want to look presentable. Now, usually I would do this off camera but I thought I would give a go at filming a Get Ready With Me video, a rainy day edition, and that's exactly what I did.
(link below)
                                                     http://youtu.be/ReWUd4-9UO8

I had so much fun filming and editing this video that I thought I would also do a blog post on it as I'm always searching for new blog post ideas.
All the products mentioned I purchased with my own money, this was not sponsored at all!



Natural Collection Press Powder
For a rainy day I just do a simple make up look, nothing to exaggerated so I decided to skip the foundation step and go straight to the concealer and powder. This powder I use all the time, I really like it, I've had it for quite a while now and it is the Natural Collection Press Powder, I will either use a brush, which I don't know the name of because it doesn't say, or I use a plain make up 'sponge'. It's usually the 'sponge'. I like this powder a lot because it makes me look slightly more awake, this and the concealer work wonders together.



Rimmel London Wake Me Up
Concealer
Speaking of the concealer, that is what I'm going to talk about next, although I used the concealer before I used the powder. This concealer is a recent purchase, in fact it is the first concealer that I have ever used, I don't know why I haven't used one before because it works amazingly for dark circles (and spots too). I can see this product staying in my collection for quite a long time, I have nothing bad to say about this, so far! It's still early days. It is the Rimmel London Wake Me Up Concealer.





No 7 So Simple Eye Duo Eye Shadow
The next product that I used for this rainy day look is the No 7 So Simple Eye Duo Eye shadow. This is my go to eye shadow, although I swap it out for others sometimes you will mostly find me wearing this one. I used the brown colour but sometimes I put on the lighter shade and then the brown on top so the brown isn't too over top for a simple look. This time though I just used the brown.




Mac Eyeliner Pencil in Black

This eyeliner is amazing, it is pretty much the only one that I will use! I just love Mac eyeliners so much, as you can probably tell by the picture, the pencil is now tiny. I have used this eyeliner for as long as I can remember. I recommend this eyeliner to anyone, the only flaw is it doesn't stay on all day but I have found this with a lot of eyeliners anyway, it is very hard to find a pencil eyeliner that won't smudge and will stay on all day. Nonetheless I love this eyeliner even with the flaw. I only use this on the waterline as I don't really like pencil eyeliners on the top lid, I prefer to use a liquid or a gel eyeliner for that which I tend to wear a lot but not for  a simple look like this.
Rimmel London Volume Flash
Scandaleyes Mascara
 Another recent buy that has made it into my collection is the Rimmel London Volume Flash Scandaleyes Mascara. I have been through a lot of different mascara's in the years trying to find one that I like and will stick to, so far it is this one! That may change, I don't know yet but at the moment this is my current favourite. It's very hard to make my eyelashes look nice and to actually be able to notice them, I think this mascara has done a good job and making them look alright so far.
Maybelline New York Baby Lips
in Peach Kiss
The last product that I used for this look is the Maybelline New York Baby Lips in Peach Kiss, I have 3 baby lips at this current moment in time, and so far this one is my favourite. It's such a nice colour, not dramatic at all, in fact you can't notice it too much when it's on which you may think is a bad thing but in this case it's not as it's just a simple subtle look that I'm going for, not too fancy.




So that is all the products that I used for this rainy day look, leave me a comment telling me if you want more of these blog posts and videos.

Over the past few days I have noticed a fair amount of girls and boys feeling insecure about their bodies.
I have been there too, there was a time where I hated my body shape and I would complain about pretty much every single part of my body, day in day out.
However, one day I said "Enough is Enough!" I only have one life and one body, I can't waste time worrying about how I look and how others perceive me. I can't change my body, I can modify it but I can never change it completely.
What I'm trying to say is, you have to learn to love your body. At the end of the day the outside doesn't matter that much, it's the inside that matters! You were given a body when you were born, you can't 'ask' for a new one and you shouldn't wish for a new one either. Who cares what other people think, those who criticise are most probably just as insecure as you are about their own body, their way of copy is to hurt others. Ignore the hate, ignore the comments, ignore the looks. Focus on the things you love about your body, not the things you hate. We all have flaws, we all have parts of our body that we don't like but can we change that? No, we can't! Our body is just a body, it's just something we live on. Now, our personality? That's what matters!
You have one body, live in it and embrace it!

Recently I have learnt that if you do what you love/like to do you will be a lot happier! That seems so simple and your probably thinking "Megan, how stupid can you be to miss something that simple!" Well it may seem simple to a few of you but to most people it gets overlooked because they think it is too simple. Everyone thinks that the key to happiness is hard to find when it really isn't, it's sat right in front of you! You don't need to do some extrodionary thing to find the key to happiness, something as plain and simple as doing what you love/like to do can bring you that happiness that you yurn for. Of course there are many more small things in which you can find happiness from but this is just one of them. I dare you to try it, you will feel so much better!

Today is January 1st, what does that mean?
2014 IS HERE!

It's about time as well, 2013 was unfortunately a really bad year for me which I don't really want to get into, maybe one day I will but not right now. Although I had a rough time I am determined to make 2014 and upcoming years good.
I will be focusing a lot on YouTube from now on, I have some very exciting news regarding YouTube so keep your eyes peeled!

This year I have decided I want to sort of start fresh with my life, as this is a very important year for me regarding school, I want to try my best in everything I do and not get myself down. To help me stay happy, positive and motivated I got a jar (not really a jar but I can't think of the right name) and wrote on the front 'Positive Thoughts'(as shown in the picture below) every time something positive happens I'm going to write it on a piece of paper with the date it occurred and place it inside the jar, I will continue to do this all the way through 2014. When this year is over I'm going to open it and read all the positive comments I wrote to remind me of all the good things that happened that year.
 
This year I will also be documenting more of my life which means a lot more vlogs will be uploaded for you guys to watch!
 
I hope you all have had a great start to 2014 and that you have an amazing year, remember to stay safe!
 I love you all :D
